Being Thankful

There have been many things this past year and even in the last few months of things that I can sit and cry about. I can very easily be sad and be angry at God for having certain things happen. I feel better after I have cried for a little bit because I’m getting it all out of my system, but it’s what you do after the crying part. With all the sadness, there was so much happiness-my trip to Holland, another year with Myke and at church to just name a couple.

Like every year during this time, I choose to be thankful. I may have those things that have made me sad, but when you compare it to my list of things I’m thankful for, the sad list doesn’t even compare. I can’t help but feel a little thankful.

Myke

God’s grace, forgiveness, and love

Mom and Dad’s love, support, texts, calls, and words of encouragement

family-aunts, uncles, sweet cousins, little babies being born into our family

Clements family-for always loving us and being there when we needing them

my job

the money that God blesses us with, both at our jobs and through other means

friends, both near and far

the food on our table every night

my time with Fin, even though it was short

Netflix/Hulu for keeping Myke and me entertained

my church

my freedom in this country, many people don’t have that luxury

clothes on my back

phones to communicate with people who are far away

my mission trip to Holland this past year

 

Today we are doing our annual drive to Nor Cal for the quick trip that is Thanksgiving vacation. I love these times in the car with Myke. Talking, singing, laughing, and joking all the way there. Also-please tell me I’m not the only one listening to Adele on repeat! #hello
